  1. JBM: winter juvenile body mass in kg; NJUV: number of juveniles used in the study; NMOT: number of mothers used in the study; Components of phenotypic variance VP (VA: additive genetic variance; VBY: early environment variance; VME: maternal environment variance VMA: maternal additive genetic variance, VR: residual variance) and their associated ratios (h2: heritability, me2, ma2, by2 and r2) and coefficients of variation (CVA, CVME, CVMA, CVBY, CVR, CVP) (see main text for details). hT2: total heritability. All values (except sample sizes) are given as the mean with standard errors indicated in brackets
